mouse-pointer symbol "background activity"
Posted: Fri Mar 30, 2018 3:09 pm
Hi altogether,
I´ve got a question concerning my mouse-pointer when opening pcmanfm.
From time to time my mouse-pointer changes to a symbol that represents something like an arrow melted together with a loading-circle.
I tried to find out something about it and believe that it means "background activity".
So far so good. But there´s one thing I cannot really explain:
Whenever I open my file-manager pcmanfm in a "normal" way, i.e. by clicking on a desktop-icon or the respective symbol in the task-bar, the window immediately opens - without any mose-pointer activity.
However when I start pcmanfm by clicking the key-combination "WIN-key + e" the window opens as well but with the addition of the "background-activity" symbol (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Keyboard for shortcuts).
That one can be seen for about 20 seconds and then vanishes.
Can someone help me find out why that is?
Many thanks in advance.
Greetings.
